Taking collagen daily may reveal an ulterior motive! (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
hidden agenda
'ulterior motive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hidden agenda that I've seen before include "Concealed intentions" , "followed in secret meeting?" , "covert plan" , "Undisclosed reason" , "Sub-text, unstated objective" .)
